Acts 2:41-47 (HCSB)
A Generous and Growing Church
41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them. 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers. 43 Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles. 44 Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. 45 They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as anyone had a need. 46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with a joyful and humble attitude, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.

We end the week with a grand picture of God’s glory displayed. As Peter preached to a large crowd defending Jesus’ life, He taught them the empowerment of repenting from their sins. The result was thousands being baptized. As the newly baptized believers followed the teachings of the apostles, they continued to make many more disciples.
